Oilers' Milan Lucic: Surprises with two goals

Lucic is more of a wrecking ball with a team-high 162 hits this year while marking just two goals in the 45 games. Therefore, these two scores were quite unexpected. Perhaps it can be a spark that can start elevating Lucic to the 20-goal scorer he was in 2016-17.

(11/7/18)Lucic has been assessed a $10,000 fine for roughing Mathieu Joseph of the Lightning in Tuesday night's contest.

Lucic's fine is the maximum allowed under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). As a player with 10 years of NHL experience, the winger has been hit with two suspensions and he's forfeited $77,830 in total fines, according to Spotrac. Still, he dodged another suspension for his latest antics, so fantasy owners are free to use him as normal when the Oilers take on the Panthers in Sunrise on Thursday.

Since it's a phone hearing, the maximum suspension is six games with a determination likely being made ahead of Thursday's matchup with Florida.

Since then, Lucic has failed to add to his 2018-19 point total while taking just three shots on goal in the five games since Opening Night. Armed with a full no-movement clause for the duration of his contract, Lucic needs to start playing to his six million dollar salary.

(10/6/18)Lucic picked up a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

Grab this guy off the wire now. Lucic seemed like a fantasy afterthought after 2017-18, but chemistry with Connor McDavid on the team's top line means a possible return to fantasy dominance.
